This week, on Thursday, May 16, 2024, it’s time to celebrate the birthday of Jack in the Box’s CEO. No, not the real CEO, Darin Harris. The mascot CEO, Jack Box, who is turning… Well, we don’t know how old this Eldritch terror is turning. But it sort of doesn’t matter because he’s giving back to the good people of the world by providing deals all week long.
Each day this week, starting today – May 13, 2024 – and running all the way through Sunday, May 19, you can get a different deal if you’re a Jack Pack Rewards Program member. And frankly, they’re pretty good deals because they’re all free with a $1 purchase at the restaurant chain.
Here’s the rundown of deals this week, per PR sent over to Guilty Eats by Jack in the Box:
- Monday 5/13: Free Jack Wrap
- Tuesday 5/14: Free 2 Tacos
- Wednesday 5/15: Free Chicken Sandwich
- Thursday 5/16 (Birthday): Free Jumbo Jack
- Friday 5/17: Free Fries
- Saturday 5/18: Free Fountain Drink
- Sunday 5/19: Free Regular Size Shake
The offers are valid for current members of the program and new sign-ups alike, so if you’re going to Jack in the Box anyway, why not sign up? Between a wrap, two tacos, a chicken sandwich, a Jumbo Jack, fries, and two drinks, you basically have your lunch taken care of for the next seven days.
In case you’re still curious about how old Jack Box is, the mascot’s face has been used since 1951, though as a “person,” he was first introduced in 1994. According to a driver’s license and some of the lore surrounding Jack Box, he was born on May 16 in Colorado and is currently 6’ 8” without the hat, and weighs 195 pounds. Putting all this together, we can throw out there he was born on May 16, 1994, meaning this is his 30th birthday.
Happy birthday, Jack!
